Current Affairs editor Nathan J. Robinson joins Ben Burgis to talk about his and Noam Chomsky’s new book “The Myth of American Idealism: How U.S. Foreign Policy Endangers the World.” Before that, Ben will talk about his debate with Jodi Dean about whether we’re living under capitalism or “neofeudalism.” Last but not least, Ben and the crew will watch some of Jordan Peterson’s Jubilee debate in the postgame for GTAA patrons.
